5 December 2006 The change in branding was brought about due to the launch of ITV's Thames Valley news region on
4 December 2006 , which, although based at Meridian's studios, consists of the south of the Central franchise area as well as the north of the Meridian area.For this reason it is unlike the "
GMTV News Northern Ireland " as it is produced by an ITV regional franchise-holder, rather than an independent company.As GMTV only pays for one regional news service per official franchisee, the regional "GMTV News"-branded service is a replacement for the "Meridian News" and "Thames Valley News" programmes.
